I never did end up getting a certificate. Got the plaque which is
virtually unreadable as it's gray and have to hold it up to the light to
see the writing on it. A while back a small group of us attempted to get
one of the older plaque versions, that didn't go very well. AFAIK, right
now you really don't get anything else (even the event at Networkers was
evidently cancelled)
Alas, the CCIE doesn't really carry much weight within Cisco anymore it
appears, oh well.

I passed the lab back in April and haven't received a certificate of any
kind yet. Yesterday I called the number listed on the certification
support page and they didn't even know that the CCIE lab wasn't a VUE
exam!
Has anybody else passed recently and gotten a certificate?

Cisco is going on the cheap and in every way, particularly where its
certification programs are concerned. We now have only one test vendor
(no
competition). The Certification Support group no longer takes phone
calls
(unless you already know a good number to call, you'll no longer find it
on
the certification support site). The website now directs you to their
inbound call center, which is nothing more than your average flunky type
of
receptionist environment. When I rang them, they didn't even know they
were
now the ones taking inbound calls for certification issues. They
directed
me to an e-mail address (which in fairness turned out to be valid, as I
was
eventually responded to).
Overall, I'm pleased that they're tightening up their certifications
across
the board, but this drift towards thrift has me bummed...
